“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

I'm James.
Just pulled the trigger on one of these, Stello CDT 100 Transport’s.
It's pre owned, should be here in a few days, I will bring it to NEBO along with the other gear I listed.
Always like the look of them - Red LEDs - can't fault them. The DAC is cool too.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > Troels Gravesen Faital 3WC-15.
Yes the partnering DAC has had good write ups, but I will be looking for a Jolida Glass FX Tube output DAC to mate with it (also well thought of).
It sports a pair of ECC83 output tubes, the same as my Croft Phono Stage, hoping that there will be some synergy with the rest of the system.
Yes. I like the look of those. Have been tempted.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Nice. Partial to a red LED or two myself![]()
One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
